Hello everyone, and this is Shaymin. It's been a while since I've last seen you all. Welcome to the twelfth season of Pokemon Universe, we're heading into our third year running and we're very excited as this season has a lot in store for you. This season, everything is bigger. Challenges, eliminations, and even the prizes, everything is bigger and better. We've had six winners in the past, who will be the seventh? Friendships have been formed, and some have fallen apart. Drama, twists and turns, you don't want to miss out on the opportunity to become this season's next winner of Pokemon Universe.

In the past twelve seasons, the road to becoming the winner was taken alone, as a couple, and even in whole families. This year, you will all be playing in individuals: but one thing is different - you're all holding a secret. But not only that, a new system will be put into play. Everything you thought you knew about Pokemon Universe, is gone. It's a whole new season of Pokemon Universe.

Every week, you'll be given a house challenge. This is where you'll have to work together with the other fellow contestants and if you manage to pass this, the Universe house will receive a reward - but only if the criteria is met. There will then be a 'Major Challenge' where all of you will be competing for yourself, and only yourself. The contestant who comes out victorious will receive a huge advantage for themselves. Like in past seasons, the Uni Challenge returns where contestants have the choice on whether they wish to participate or not, taking a gamble for Immunity. The winner of the Uni Challenge will also receive the privilege of walking the Universe Plank (formally known as the Dialga Plank) and the decision they make on the plank could change the dynamics of the game and competition, completely. Every week will be different, and so wil the challenges. Don't expect this week to run the way you expect it to be.

This season, there are 22 of you in the competition. However, you won't be the only people that will have an impact on your journey. Including myself, there will be guest judges judging, eliminated contestants having a decision on everyone's continued journey and for the first time in Universe history, the public will be able to make decisions. But how this all plays out, has yet to be seen. And for the first time ever, the prize isn't in Pokemon - form, as this year the prize will be from the human world. But what this prize is will be revealed at a later stage in the competition.

But of course, this week, don't forget you are not allowed to use your icon (e.g ) or directly state your Pokemon name (e.g Hi I'm Wormow and I'm a Shaymin). In challenges, you're allowed to use your Pokemon (such as in a writing challenge you may say 'I use vines that tangle from my back to swing etc etc) but you aren't allowed to ever say your Pokemon identity or you will be up for elimination. So without further ado, let's start our first 'House Challenge'!

The first challenge will be a quiz and if all the contestant's total reaches an average of at least 7, then you will pass the challenge. If not, you will fail and not receive the prize. The prize will be the reveal of the winner's grand prize.

1 - Who were the past winners and in what season did they win?
2 - Other than Wormow, who else has hosted Pokemon Universe?
3 - How many users posted in this thread?
4 - How many users signed up for the series?
5 - If one contestant was eliminated every week and there was a final four, how many weeks will this game last for?
6 - How many letters total are all the contestant's names?
7 - How many contestants were there altogether in seasons 9, 10 and 11?
8 - Who were the finalists of Pokemon Universe season 11.1?
9 - How many posts were made in seasons 3, 5 and 8?
10 - What is your Pokemon icon?

Roget: My God I'm surrounded by sluts and negroes. When the hell did we let them take charge, eh? I mean it doesn't count as sexism or racism, if they ain't human, cause they ain't yanno, they ain't humans, they ain't what they call pokeymans, they ain't nothing and it ain't a hate crime if it's nothin' but a mercy killin' an' even then, well they don't even deserve it.

OOC: Yeah this isn't me, thank god.

As to what once, it now is. For this my retirement tour, let us commence, forevermore, forevermore.

E-excuse me mister, it's not there fault... People or Pokemon shouldn't be judged just because something happened to them, I can sympathise with them... Well, I hope we have fun here! *In head* Oh Arceus help me....
